A quick definition of ob non solutum canonem:
OB NON SOLUTUM CANONEM: This is a legal term used in Scots law to refer to unpaid canon or feu duty. A vassal could lose their land if they failed to pay the feu duty for two or five years. Feu is a right to land given to a person in exchange for service to be performed. It can also refer to land held by a vassal in return for an annual payment in money, crops, or services. This type of tenure was abolished in Scotland in 2000. Feu can also mean a perpetual grant of land to be held in exchange for grain or money, a perpetual lease for a fixed rent, or a piece of land held under a perpetual lease for a fixed rent.
